The International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC) Secretariat is soliciting nominations for appropriately qualified experts to take part in the Expert working group (EWG) to develop a draft International standard for phytosanitary measures (ISPM) on Guidance on pest risk management (2014-001).

Nominations are due 20 September 2017.

Six to eight experts with collective expertise in:

conducting pest risk analyses (PRAs)

evaluating and selecting pest risk management options

applying phytosanitary measures in the international trade of plants and plant products.

Experts with extensive experience and expertise across a number of these fields will be given priority.

The discussions and work of expert working groups (EWGs) take place in English, so experts should have a strong working knowledge of English.

The selected experts should be available to attend the EWG meeting, which is tentatively scheduled for 5-9 March 2018 in Malta, and any change will be published on the IPPC Calendar (2018).
